A Florida sheriff has shared video of deputies racing to rescue a woman trapped inside a burning car last month, praising their "selfless efforts" to ensure she made it out alive.
Deputies responded just after midnight to a crash on the Suncoast Parkway on the state Route 52 overpass on Dec. 29, the Pasco Sheriff’s Office said. The vehicle was partially over a guardrail and flames were shooting out from underneath its hood.
